Bill Frisell Trio | Jazz | Guitar

🙌 Welcome to Victor’s Places! In this video we’ll listen to an American jazz guitarist who has won numerous awards over the course of his career.

Over the years, William Richard Frisell has contributed to the work of such collaborators as Paul Motian, John Zorn, Elvis Costello, Ginger Baker, The Los Angeles Philharmonic, Suzanne Vega, Loudon Wainwright III, Van Dyke Parks, Vic Chesnutt, Rickie, Lee Jones, Ron Sexsmith, Vinicius Cantuária, Marc Johnson (in "Bass Desires"), Ronald Shannon Jackson and Melvin Gibbs (in "Power Tools"), Marianne Faithful, John Scofield, Jan Garbarek, Lyle Mays, Vernon Reid, Julius Hemphill, Paul Bley, Wayne Horvitz, Hal Willner, Robin Holcomb, Rinde Eckert, The Frankfurt Ballet, film director Gus Van Sant, David Sanborn, David Sylvian, Petra Haden and numerous others, including Bono, Brian Eno, Jon Hassell and Daniel Lanois on the soundtrack for Wim Wenders' film Million Dollar Hotel.

This work has established Frisell as one of the most sought-after guitar voices in contemporary music. The breadth of such performing and recording situations is a testament not only to his singular guitar conception, but his musical versatility as well. This, however, is old news by now. In recent years, it is Frisell's role as composer and band leader which has garnered him increasing notoriety.

"For over ten years Bill Frisell has quietly been the most brilliant and unique voice to come along in jazz guitar since Wes Montgomery. In light of this, it may be easy to overlook the fact that he may also be one of the most promising composers of American music on the current scene". - Stereophile

"Bill Frisell is the Clark Kent of the electric guitar. Soft-spoken and self-effacing in conversation, he apparently breathes in lungfuls of raw fire when he straps on his (guitar)...His music is not what is typically called jazz, though it turns on improvisation; it's not rock'n roll; and it sure ain't that tired dinosaur called fusion. In one of the biggest leaps of imagination since the Yardbirds and Jimi Hendrix, Frisell coaxes and slams his hovering split-toned ax into shapes of things to come...But besides being a guitar genius, he's turned into a terrific songwriter. Like Monk, Frisell's harmonic and melodic ideas form a succinct, seamless mesh with outer sonic and rhythmic ideas about his ax". - Spin

"Frisell just has a knack for coaxing the most inviting sounds out of the instrument, and the composition skills to put them in just the right order. Combine a Colorado youth given to soul and C&W with solid jazz training, abetted by a decade-long residency in the heart of NYC's avant scene, multiplied by a fun factor of X (he has scored Buster Keaton's films) and you've got a recipe damn near perfection". - The Mirror

He finds the essential notes, doesn't touch the other things that get in the way. I'm humbled each and every time I hear him.

[nedgrant]

I love Thomas Morgan: always plays contrapuntally to The guitar.

[TheMusicalEvents]

Such wonderful musicians… and they are not even named… of course all three are masterly players, but I need to emphasize the beautiful and utterly elegant drumming! Thanks for sharing this and please give them all a name 😊

[jamesdouglass]

A very long time ago when I was pretending at Berklee, an incredible bass player friend of mine asked if I wanted to see him play. Little did I know he was playing with Bill, tiny little club it was an eye/ear opener. There were those that were destined for greatness he was obviously one of them. Wonderful is all to say

[WilFennell]

This is a brilliant trio of jazz alchemists working and playing to create sound magic in the spirit of Pandit Paul Motian.

[waltersmetak]

Remember Frisell with Naked City. The man can play anything and play it like no one else. Genius!

[christopherorman]

To me, a great artist is one you recognize from the first note. You knew Miles. You knew Coltrane. You knew Abercrombie. You knew Jim Hall. You know Scofield. They have a sound and approach that defines them. Frisell is that way. I don't have to watch a video to know it is him; it is wrapped up in his tone (that R&B and Country feel will always be there), how he uses space and time, and the material he chooses to tackle.

[fabiosky]

remember Frisell in a lot of records expecially ECM record of BASS DESIRES with M. johnson and JScofield.an incredible recording sound and a Frisell passionate And psychedelic with Synth guitar, together with a great Sco, what a solo in resolution, powerful johnson. and the perfect Erskine. ciao from Italy!

[RazvanFilipCipca]

Wonderful sound and video production so tasteful. And of course the music is stellar.

[richardthurston]

Saw Bill with Rudy Royston & Tony Scherr a couple of weeks ago at a small venue in Bellingham, WA. Sublime.

[wolfgangfahr]

Own world. Not easy to establish. Courage.

[jacobsonjj]

Wow, excellent upload! Filming and the musician chemistry on this performance all are great!

[stefanobonoli]

Tunes should be:
Isfahan
Holiday
Claude Utley.
❤❤❤❤❤

[bigfootpegrande]

Once I've asked a young trained and talented guitar player who his favorite player would be. He didn't hesitate: ""Bill Frisell". That was when I started looking (listening) and paying attention.

[dblbogi]

Bill’s music is a true treasure. We caught the Harmony tour in a very small venue about a week before the pandemic blew up in early 2020, and that show was just other worldly. For those who haven’t seen him live, please do so at your earliest convenience and you will NOT be disappointed!

[voltz]

Recording sounds amazing, music is 1000times better. Thank you

[LoveOneAnotherHeSaid]

Cheers, Big Ears! Nice one. He goes there, where few tread. Thank God!

[thewordofgord]

[blasmartinez-en]
